Chapter 93 (Who wants you to like it?...)
Shen Mushen got off work early today, and it was only after seven o'clock after the two of them finished their meal. When they came out of the restaurant, the temperature dropped sharply, and Gu Chaochao couldn't help shivering.
Shen Mushen immediately took off his coat and put it over her.
"No..."
"Good," Shen Mu took her by the shoulders and directly stopped her from struggling, "It's still early, let's go to the neighborhood to buy some clothes first, otherwise it will be colder at night."
Gu Chaochao obediently replied. With a sound, after seeing a shopping mall not far away, he quickly pulled him over.
After entering the mall, it suddenly warmed up. Gu Chaochao rubbed Shen Mushen's cold hands and gave him a dissatisfied look: "Is it cold?"
"Not cold." Shen Mushen was serious.
Gu Chaochao pursed his lips: "First, I'll buy you a cup of hot milk tea to warm you up. You can't get sick when the project is at a critical stage."
"...Are you concerned about me or my work?" Shen Mu was deeply happy .
Gu Chaochao also laughed: "I care about you at work."
"You can talk." Shen Mu deeply tapped her on the head and took her to buy milk tea.
The two walked around the mall for a long time. They originally planned to buy two jackets to keep out the cold, but before they knew it, it turned into a big shopping. pile of things.
"If you buy any more, the mall will be covered by us." Gu Chaochao was helpless. It's all her fault that she looked at the couple's clothes in the window more, which aroused Shen Mushen's great interest. Now the two bags are in pairs, and they are all clothes of the same style and different sizes.
Gu Chaochao felt an inexplicable sense of shame at the thought of wearing the same clothes as him.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, other couples wear them, we can wear them too." Shen Mushen persuaded and opened the car door, leaving only two bags, the rest were thrown into the back seat at will, "Quick, Put on your jacket."
Gu Chaochao didn't want to change.
"Hurry up and change." Shen Mushen narrowed his eyes and threatened.
Gu Chaochao had no choice but to change into a thick cartoon coat.
Satisfied, Shen Mu also put on his own, and then looked at the two people in the same clothes with a smile: "It's so beautiful."
"...Childish." Gu Chaochao muttered.
Shen Mu squinted her deeply: "You girl, you are different from others in every way. If other girls see her boyfriend taking the oath of sovereignty so actively, they will be so happy and crazy, and you will be disgusted.
" Do I still have to declare my sovereignty?" Gu Chaochao tilted his head.
Shen Mushen was stopped by her question. After choking for a long time, he didn't know how to answer. He simply pretended not to hear and drove calmly to the bar.
The two spent a long time in the mall, and it was almost ten o'clock in the evening when they arrived at the bar, which was the busiest time of the bar street.
Shen Mushen parked the car and walked in, holding Gu Chaochao's shoulders. The security guard let them go immediately when they saw them, and asked someone to take them to the private room.
By the time they arrived, Huang Mao and the others were going crazy around the lie detector prototype. The moment the two appeared, the room was silent for three seconds, and then there was a ghostly roar.
Gu Chaochao was embarrassed by their calling, and couldn't help but glanced at Shen Mushen angrily.
Shen Mushen smiled smugly, and raised his hand like a big leader.
"Boss, this way!" The old dog beckoned to the two of them.
Shen Mu hugged Gu Chaochao and walked over, and as soon as he sat down, he heard Huang Mao asking the man wearing a polygraph: "Tell me, what is the password of the bank card!"
"123458." The man opened his mouth and came.
The red light came on, and the crowd roared again.
The man is going crazy: "No, I just said a wrong number, how does it distinguish it?"
"Then you have to ask my boss. This is their upcoming new version of the lie detector. It is much more accurate than the ones on the market, and it can distinguish subtle lies." Huang Mao said immediately.
Shen Mushen heard that his explanation was too serious, so he couldn't help but glance at the man more, and then he could tell under the dim light that this was the crown prince of Jiacheng Medical Equipment.
As soon as his heart moved, he knew that Huang Mao was not just for fun tonight, so he picked up the wine glass and signaled silently. Huang Mao suddenly laughed happily: "Brother, isn't it fun?" The
man nodded thoughtfully: "It's really good," and looked at Shen Mushen, "Mushen, when are you free to make an appointment? ?"
"Waiting at any time." Shen Mu smiled deeply.
The man took off the instrument, Huang Mao immediately glanced at the old dog, and the two hurried to coax Zhou Shuai's object.
Gu Chaochao didn't care at all, and only after hearing the words did he look at Zhou Shuai, only to find that there was a stern girl sitting next to him.
"They won't fight, will they?" Gu Chaochao whispered in Shen Mushen's ear, "I think that girl doesn't like this kind of fun."
"No, they are measured." Shen Mu knew these two people deeply. , that is, shouting cheerfully, and you will never do anything to embarrass the little girl.
Sure enough, Huang Mao and the old dog were about to give up after shouting, but the girl took the initiative to stand up, their eyes lit up, and they quickly made room for her.
"You don't need to play if you don't want to." Zhou Shuai was a little helpless.
The girl smiled and sat down directly.
Looking for a girl to help her put on the instrument, Huang Mao started to have trouble: "Do you like my Zhou Shuai?"
"It's love." The girl corrected.
Green light.
There was a roar around him, and Zhou Shuai also smiled and rolled his eyes.
"Do you control him all day long because you don't like us?" the old dog asked again.
The girl glanced at him: "Yeah, you always play around with him."
Green light.
The roar suddenly grew louder.
The old dog and Huang Mao also laughed so hard that they couldn't see their teeth, they didn't mind what she said at all, and there were people watching the fun and didn't think it was a big deal, so they followed up and asked, "You are with Zhou Shuai because you are more concerned about your family. Or is he more of a person?"
"Of course it's him."
Still the green light.
Gu Chaochao sat in the corner, his eyes were reluctant to look at the excitement, and when he took up the juice and drank it, he realized that the taste was not right.
"It was wrong." Shen Mu felt helpless.
Gu Chaochao paused, only to realize that it was his cocktail: "Ah, sorry."
"This one is quite sweet, do you like it?" Shen Mushen leaned lazily on the sofa.
Gu Chaochao smacked his mouth: " It's very good." "It's
not good to drink too much." Shen Mu was expressionless. She was drunk, and he didn't want to see her a second time.
Gu Chaochao also knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and rolled his eyes. Shen Mushen felt itchy throat when she saw her stupid appearance, rubbed her and stood up: "I'm going to the bathroom, don't mess with the wine on the table."
"Don't worry, don't move." Gu Chaochao I drank too hastily just now, and my mind was a little dizzy, but fortunately there was only one cup. Although my limbs and brain were a little dull, I was still awake overall.
However, Shen Mushen was not at ease. Before leaving, he specially told the people next to him not to let Gu Chaochao drink.
"Don't worry, boss, I will look after my sister-in-law." The man assured immediately.
Shen Mushen just left.
The people in the private room were still having fun, and the questions they asked were becoming more and more limitless. Gu Chaochao kept laughing in the corner. Presumably because she was too happy, the fire quickly burned on her.
"Sister-in-law, let's have a game!"
I don't know who shouted, and the others began to boo. Huang Mao and the old dog not only did not help, but laughed and supported the fire.
Gu Chaochao refused again and again, but was still pulled into the crowd.
"I-I can't." She didn't expect the glass of wine to be so energetic, and her mind seemed to be getting more and more dull.
Huang Mao was the first to find out what was wrong with her: "Sister, have you been drinking?"
"I was drinking wrong just now." Gu Chaochao explained.
Huang Mao nodded, and then laughed even more brilliantly: "Fortunately, alcohol does not affect the accuracy of the polygraph, let's play a game!"
Gu Chaochao: "..."
The roar around him became louder and louder, and Gu Chaochao was surrounded by the lively atmosphere. The influence made his face a little red, and finally he was forced to agree.
Everyone cheered, and the old dog immediately assured: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we are all measured, and we won't ask you too tricky."
Gu Chaochao nodded, and with the help of the little girl next to him, put on the instrument properly.
When Shen Mushen came in from the outside, she saw that she was wearing a tube and a helmet on her head, and she looked aggrieved when she saw him.
Shen Mushen was suddenly dumbfounded: "I've only been out for a few minutes, why did you get arrested?"
Gu Chaochao pouted, and just as he was about to speak, he heard someone ask, "Are you a man or a woman?"
"...Female Yes." Gu Chaochao replied subconsciously.
Green light.
The others were immediately speechless: "Even if you want to release water, you don't need to release it like this, right?"
"I'm not helping to test it first." The person smiled.
"It has to be me," the old dog rolled up his sleeves and leaned over to ask, "Sister Chaochao, I was mad at you before and had to sign that Tiankeng contract, do you hate me?"
"No," Gu Chaochao looked at him and answered very sincerely, "But I don't think your brain is good enough."
Green light.
The old dog: "..."
The people around were laughing into a ball, and Shen Mushen couldn't hold back the joy. Huang Mao pushed the old dog away and continued to ask, "What about me? What about me? Sister, do you like me?"
"Yes, After Gu Chaochao answered, he still didn't forget to look at the old dog, "I like you too." The
green light came again.
The brothers immediately said that they were moved to tears.
Huang Mao wiped the nonexistent tears from the corners of his eyes and continued to ask, "Then do you like the boss?"
"Yes." Gu Chaochao answered faster.
Shen Mushen folded his arms and leaned against the door frame, his eyes were full of smiles.
"What's the problem? It might as well be a man or a woman just now." Someone shouted.
Huang Mao wiped his face: "Yes, this question is too stupid, then I'll change it, just... do you love the boss?"
Gu Chaochao blinked, paused for a moment, and said, "Love..."
Red light.
Gu Chaochao was so frightened that he woke up most of the time, Shen Mushen's deep smile froze on the corner of his lips, everyone was stunned, and the air in the room seemed to cool down instantly.
The old dog reacted the fastest and held down Huang Mao: "What kind of problem are you, you don't name the name, she knows who is the boss?"
"Yes, yes, I will ask again," Huang Mao said quickly, "Chao Chao, do you love Shen Mushen?"
"Love." Gu Chaochao swallowed, his palms sweating.
Still a red light.
The room was silent, and no one dared to speak. Gu Chaochao scolded: "Is it because my heartbeat is too fast, so I mistakenly think I don't like it?"
... The most distinguishing feature of this lie detector from other lie detectors is that it can judge lies through tiny muscle contractions, and the heartbeat is only a reference condition, not a necessary condition. Shen Mu knew this, Huang Mao knew it, and everyone who had just listened to Huang Mao's 20 minutes of popular science knew it, so after she finished speaking, she didn't know how to smooth things out for a while.
I don't know how long it took, Shen Mushen suddenly said: "You all go out."
Huang Mao was the first to return to his senses, originally smirking and wanted to say something, after meeting Shen Mushen's gaze, he quickly coughed: "Yes, yes, It's starting to dance outside, let's go."
"Okay, okay..."
"I like dancing the most..."
A group of people laughed and left quickly, Zhou Shuai was the last to leave, and patted Shen Mushen on the shoulder Said: "This machine doesn't seem to be that accurate. If you haven't signed the contract yet, remember to think more carefully."
Shen Mu responded deeply, and after they left, he closed the door and pulled the chair, and sat down in front of Gu Chaochao: "Give me the helmet."
Gu Chaochao hurriedly took it off, took off the tubes, and handed them over to him in a hurry.
Shen Mushen put it on herself skillfully, and when the instrument showed that the adjustment was successful, she said, "Do I love Gu Chaochao? Love."
Green light.
Gu Chaochao laughed dryly.
Shen Mushen stared at the green light for a long time, and returned the helmet to her: "Put it on."
"Mushen..."
"Put it on."
Gu Chaochao stared at him silently for a long time, and finally put it on.
After three minutes, the instrument shows that the deployment is successful.
"Do you love Shen Mushen?" he asked.
Gu Chaochao had completely lost his confidence: "...Love." The
red light.
She closed her eyes in despair.
Shen Mushen didn't have any emotional ups and downs. After a moment of silence, he continued: "So I just like it."
"No..." The
red light.
Gu Chaochao did not dare to speak.
"Is it the same liking for Huang Mao and the old dog? Favorite?" Shen Mushen asked again.
Gu Chaochao didn't want to answer, but after meeting his gaze, he was forced to speak: "It's different." The
green light.
Finally got the green light. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Mushen didn't intend to let her go, just when the red light came on for the first time, many images of two people getting along with each other flashed in his mind. The tendency to sprouted and grew up quickly.
"You gave my full name before I told you my name, because of the investigation in advance?"
"...No."
Green light.
"When you first met me, you always didn't reply to my news. Are you trying to get hold of it?" In the quiet room, every word he said was extremely clear.
Gu Chaochao shrank back: "No." The
green light.
Sure enough. Shen Mushen clenched his fists, and suddenly chuckled: "It turns out that I misunderstood."
"Mushen..."
"So you didn't mean to make me sad when you went on a trip before my birthday, but you didn't know me at all. birthday." Shen Mu stared into her eyes.
Gu Chaochao pursed his lips: "Yeah."
Green light.
"Then why did you come back early in the morning, and why did you buy flowers?" After Shen Mushen asked, she saw that she was eager to answer, and immediately interrupted, "Gu Chaochao, you better tell the truth, I don't want to see it again. Something other than a green light."
Gu Chaochao's explanation instantly choked in his throat, and after being speechless for a long time, he said dryly: "Yes, it's because Brother Huang Mao said that you were very angry, so I rushed back... I bought flowers because I wanted to reach out and not slap people, so I just bought it."
Shen Mushen's eyes gradually turned cold: "So you don't know the flower language at all."
"What flower language?" Gu Chaochao was puzzled.
Shen Mushen's throat moved, and he hurriedly lowered his head for a long while: "It's nothing."
"Mushen, you are different to me, I really love...like you." Gu Chaochao said hurriedly.
Green light.
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly reminded: "The green light is on, look! What I said is true."
Shen Mushen was not happy, but after seeing the green light, she felt a little pitiful.
The room became quiet again, and after a long time, he finally broke the silence: "When I took you out of the urban village to live with you, did you like me... do you have a relationship between men and women?"
Gu Chaochao bit his lower lip and didn't answer. .
Seeing her like this, Shen Mushen had already guessed the answer, and his heart sank slowly: "When you lived with me, you didn't like me either."
"But I later..."
"Then why did you agree? Living together?" Shen Mushen's eyes suddenly sharpened, "Don't tell me you are so slow, you are lying on the same bed with me, and you still don't know how I feel about you."
"I know!" Gu Chaochao said hurriedly, saying After that, his voice became quieter, "I know... the day I came back, I saw the paper wrapped in flowers in the guest room, so I guessed it."
"You know, but you didn't refuse, is it because you're desperate and need to grab the last straw, or because it doesn't matter if you don't like it, anyway, my conditions are good, and it's good to fall in love and have fun?" Shen Mushen Staring into her eyes, trying to find out her thoughts of authenticity.
Gu Chaochao was silent, trying to avoid this question, but as long as she was silent, Shen Mushen waited as long as she could, obviously she must know the answer today.
After being quiet for a long period of time, Gu Chaochao couldn't hold it anymore, and hesitantly replied in a low voice, "I just think...you're fine, and I don't want to disappoint you."
Green Lantern.
So it's not because I like him, just because he's good and I don't want to disappoint him. Shen Mushen's long-standing cognition was completely shattered at this moment, and the smugness and determination of the past turned into the sharpest arrows, which directly pierced him into riddled with holes.
He didn't hold grudges, he just felt ashamed, very ashamed.
"No wonder...you won't be jealous, and you won't ask me about my schedule. It turns out that you are not willing to compromise because of me, or you just don't like it that much." Ying, just didn't want to wear it, Shen Mushen's voice was hoarse, "I, Shen Mushen, consider myself smart, but I didn't expect to be fooled around by you."
Gu Chaochao hurriedly said, "Mushen, I like you..."
"Who wants to You like it!" Shen Mushen grabbed the cup on the table and threw it directly on the floor.
The glass was torn apart, and the splashed glass shards scratched his hand with blood, and a little splashed onto Gu Chaochao's face, leaving a thin mark on her face.
Shen Mu's heart tightened, and subconsciously wanted to go over to check, but just as he moved, he met her fearful eyes.
For a moment, he had no strength at all.
"Who wants your liking," he said condescendingly, but his eyes were red, "There are more people who like me and more people who love me, why should I feel wronged and find someone who doesn't love me to fall in love. "
"Gu Chaochao, let's break up, you remember, I dumped you." After Shen Mushen finished speaking, he turned and left.
Gu Chaochao stared blankly at the door closing, completely blocking her sight of Shen Mushen. She paused for a long time and stroked the slightly stinging part of her cheek, before noticing a little bloodstain in the glass shards on the ground.
When Shen Mushen opened the door and went out, the others had already left, only Huang Mao and the three of them were waiting outside, and they immediately surrounded him when they saw him come out.
"Boss, you are injured!" Huang Mao exclaimed.
Shen Mushen didn't care much, looked at the three of them and said, "You find someone to take her home."
"What about you?" Zhou Shuai asked with a frown.
Shen Mu pursed his lips deeply: "I'm going to stay in a hotel." After speaking, he left without looking back.
Zhou Shuai glanced at the old dog, and the old dog quickly chased after him.
The music in the bar was still deafening, and everyone swayed to the ecstatic rhythm. Huang Mao at the door of the private room looked confused, and asked in a nonchalant manner, "What's going on?"
Zhou Shuai pursed his lips and was about to say something when Gu Chaochao's eyes blushed.
There was a slight red mark on her cheek, although it was not deep, but because of the obvious location, Huang Mao's heart immediately lifted up: "Boss beat you?"
Gu Chaochao shook his head, his voice slightly choked: "He , his hand is injured."
"Don't worry, the old dog has already chased him and will bandage him," Zhou Shuai reassured and sighed, "What's the matter with you?"
Gu Chaochao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just walked out, Huang Mao quickly followed: "He has returned to Shen's house, I will take you home."
She did not refuse.
Huang Mao breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the door and called a car, escorting her all the way to the gate of the community.
"How can a husband and wife have an overnight feud, don't think too much, he will definitely be back tomorrow morning." Huang Mao comforted.
Gu Chaochao twitched the corner of his lips and didn't say that they had broken up, he just went upstairs with his head down. Looking at her lonely back, Huang Mao couldn't help but slap himself.
"It's all a good thing you did, you have nothing to do with a lie detector." He said bitterly, turned around and left with a headache.
After Gu Chaochao returned home, his first reaction was to look around and sit down after confirming that Shen Mushen was not at home. At this moment, she has completely sobered up, but her mind is still in a mess, and she can't help regretting that she played the lie detector.
But at the same time, it is very clear that it is not a matter of the lie detector between them.
In this relationship, she really didn't pay much attention to it. She always felt that everything depended on him, that was to be good to him, but she alone ignored what he wanted. Now that this situation has been caused, she is very clear in her heart that with Shen Mushen's proud personality, the two of them are completely finished.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, but Gu Chaochao didn't feel sleepy at all. After sitting alone on the floor for a long time, he finally stood up slowly and started to pack her things.
When she moved in, she had only one suitcase, but now she has packed out five suitcases and stared at them for a long time. After dawn, she finally called the intermediary who used to help find a house and communicated briefly. Then hung up and made another call.
At 7:30 in the morning, a snow fell in City A, announcing the official entry of winter.
Shen Mu lay in the hotel room and didn't sleep all night. When she saw the snow falling outside the window, her mind was a little dazed. It took a long time to realize that it was winter.
He had previously planned to take her to the hot springs when winter came, but it seemed unnecessary now.
Shen Mu smiled bitterly, turned over and continued to lie down.
After staying in the hotel all day, the doorbell rang suddenly in the evening.
Shen Mushen's heart beat faster for a moment, then frowned at her own reaction. He pursed his lips, and went to open the door in the end, but he was stunned when he saw the person: "Dad?"
"If I didn't ask Zhou Shuai and the others, wouldn't I still know about your breakup?" Shen Zhi was displeased. walk in.
Shen Mu frowned deeply: "I'm fine."
"I'll know if you're okay, I have to see it with my own eyes." , how did this happen."
Shen Mushen's heart throbbed instantly, and he hurriedly lowered his head to restrain his surging emotions.
Shen Zhi sighed, and unskillfully opened his arms to hug him.
Shen Mushen has never been hugged by him like this since he was ten years old, and his eyes became redder for a while: "Dad, I'm really fine..."
"I believe you will be fine, my Shen Zhi's son is the bravest," Shen Zhisong He drove him away and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "Don't go to the company these few days, take a good rest."
Shen Mushen had lost the motivation to work hard and had no plans to go to work. After hearing Shen Zhi's words, she suddenly Feeling a little guilty, looking at his white hair on the temples, it is still so dazzling.
He took a deep breath and gradually became firmer: "No, I will work hard, I... will study hard, and help you share the burden early."
"Good boy." Shen Zhi hugged him again, urging him to change his clothes , the father and son went downstairs for dinner together.
Shen Mushen had no appetite, but at Shen Zhi's request, he also ate half a bowl of rice. Seeing that he couldn't eat enough, Shen Zhi didn't force it any further. After thinking about it, he said, "Child, go home and live."
"My home is too far from the company. You are the chairman of the board. It's fine to go at ten o'clock, but I can't. ," Shen Mu let out a deep laugh, and said after being quiet, "Don't worry, I can do it alone."
Seeing that he insisted, Shen Zhi didn't say any more.
After the father and son finished their dinner in silence, Shen Zhi sent Shen Mushen back to his room and went downstairs. As soon as he got into the car, he called Gu Chaochao back.
"Uncle." Gu Chaochao called him.
Shen Zhi frowned: "I have seen him as you said, and he promised to continue working."
"That's good." Gu Chaochao heaved a sigh of relief, then began to feel uncomfortable.
Shen Zhi also noticed it, sighed and asked, "What happened to you, why did you break up suddenly?"
"...It was my fault that broke up." Gu Chaochao said vaguely.
Shen Zhi frowned deeper: "Of course it's your fault, that kid Mu Shen likes you to the death, he will definitely not do anything bad."
After speaking, his tone suddenly softened, "But uncle also believes that Your character, child, can't you be reconciled? You are really the ideal daughter-in-law in my heart."
Gu Chaochao's eyes heated up when he heard this, so he could only hurriedly say sorry and hang up.
Shen Zhi looked at the beeping phone and shook his head helplessly.
After the phone call with Shen Zhi, Gu Chaochao asked someone to help him move the things into the truck, and followed the car to the house he was looking forward to.
She came to this world unknowingly for several months, and from summer to winter, she did not expect to go around, and finally returned to the city center and rented an apartment again.
But this time, she kept her mind. She didn't rent the building that Shen Mu knew deeply, but replaced it with another one. Although the house is not as new as before, the overall space is larger and can hold more things. .
She was busy until after 11 o'clock in the evening, when everything was packed, she took out her mobile phone without taking a rest, and transferred a sum of money to Shen Mushen. After 12 o'clock, she put the rest turned over.
Shen Mushen's phone rang twice after less than ten minutes. He frowned, took out his mobile phone and saw that there were two transfer messages, the first one transferred 1 million, and the second transferred more than 400,000.
It happened to be the remaining balance after she bought a car for herself.
Shen Mu's face was expressionless, but the hand holding the phone was getting harder and harder.
For a long time, he resisted the urge to call and question, and turned over to sleep, ignoring the two messages.
Gu Chaochao waited for a long time, and before he could reply, he knew that he had completely ignored her.
As expected, Gu Chaochao sighed lightly, ignoring the depression in his heart as much as possible, and closed his eyes after turning off the lights.
